New Douglas Park is the previous stadium name, it is currently known as the SuperSeal Stadium for sponsorship purposes,^[2] is a football stadium in Hamilton which serves as the home of Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical. It takes its name from Douglas Park, the club's former stadium.

Stadium

Construction of the stadium was completed by Ballast Nedam in 2001.^[3] The pitch was converted to artificial FieldTurf in 2004. After Hamilton was promoted to the Scottish Premier League in May 2008, the artificial surface had to be replaced by grass due to league rules. In addition to the turf replacement, a temporary stand was erected in March 2008 to bring the stadium's capacity up to the league requirement of 6,000 all seater.

At the beginning of season 2013–14 Hamilton returned to an artificial playing surface.

During the 2013–14 season, Albion Rovers played Scottish Cup ties against Motherwell^[4] and Rangers^[5] at the stadium.

In July 2016 it was announced that as part of a £750,000 sponsorship deal, New Douglas Park would be renamed the SuperSeal Stadium after a deal was agreed with Glasgow-based home improvements company SuperSeal.^[2]

Records

The stadium's record attendance of 6,007 was set on 17 January 2015 when Hamilton played Celtic in a Scottish Premiership game.^[6]
